Dust in Apus
Geoff Smith
This pic was taken at the Astronomical Society of NSW star party in Australia. It shows a
dusty nebula (Sarah's Nebula) in Apus near ic4633. It's pretty faint
and I really had to be very aggressive in the processing, so
background is quite warty. It obviously cries out for more exposure,
which will happen in due course.
